Watch the kind of people that God brings around you, and you will be humiliated to find that this is His way of reviewing to you the kind of person you have been to Him.

As natural and easy as it has been to be proud, [it should be] for us to be humble.
– Andrew Murray –
To see a man humble under prosperity is one of the greatest rarities in the world.

(1627-1691)
Just as our Lord came into human history from the outside, so He must come into us from the outside. Have we allowed our personal human lives to become a “Bethlehem” for the Son of God?
– Oswald Chambers –
May our Lord’s sweet hand square us and hammer us, and strike off all kinds of pride, self-love, world-worship, and infidelity, so that He can make us stones and pillars in His Father’s house.
– Samuel Rutherford –
Lived 1600-1661
God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.
– Dwight L. Moody –
Sinned as we have as a nation, yet to our sin we have added pride in our sinning. The world has lost the power to blush over its vice; the church has lost her power to weep over it.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog; but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men. … When we realize that Jesus Christ has served us to the end of our meanness, our selfishness, and sin, nothing that we meet with from others can exhaust our determination to serve men for His sake.
– Oswald Chambers –
